Recently, some netizens broke the news that Zhang Yongzhen was forcibly closed by the Shanghai Public Health Center, which went viral on the Internet, causing widespread concern. As a friend of Zhang Yongzhen, I feel the need to talk to you about the ins and outs of this matter, and maybe we can draw some inspiration from it.
Zhang Yongzhen is a very good virologist, and he and his team immediately determined the genetic sequence of the new coronavirus, which played a key role in the prevention and control of the epidemic. At the Shanghai Public Health Center, he has also been engaged in scientific research on viruses.
As a tertiary hospital with a history of 100 years, the Shanghai Public Health Center has always been the main base for the prevention and treatment of various infectious diseases, and has worked closely with researchers like Zhang Yongzhen.
The public health center's briefing also mentioned that because they needed to renovate the laboratory and need to close and seal off some areas, Zhang Yongzhen's team was notified in advance and alternative office and laboratory space was provided.
It seems that the center did not deliberately make things difficult for Zhang Yongzhen, but needed to be renovated for safety reasons. However, as a scientific researcher, Zhang Yongzhen is sensitive to the working environment and equipment, and may be worried that this will affect his scientific research process. Therefore, the two sides have a certain disagreement on the use of the site.
I believe that public health centers should fully understand the working habits of researchers and provide a comfortable environment to stimulate their creativity. At the same time, researchers should also be considerate of the operational needs of the center, and the two need more communication and coordination.
Only by uniting and working together can we better serve the cause of public health. So I believe that through friendly dialogue, this matter should be properly resolved.
It also teaches us a little about the importance of teamwork when pursuing personal goals. No matter how good an individual is, it is difficult to stand alone.
Only by uniting and working together can we exert our greatest strength. The road of scientific research is destined to be difficult, but as long as we have justice and truth in our hearts and persevere, we will definitely be able to contribute to the cause of human health.
I sincerely hope that Mr. Zhang Yongzhen and the Public Health Center can reconcile and continue to work together to defeat various viruses and benefit the society!
Zhang Yongzhen's laboratory was closed by the Shanghai Public Health Center, exposing the problems of the hospital's scientific research and development, and experts called on the two sides to understand and cooperate, and public welfare needs a long-term vision.
Specifically, this incident reflects some common problems faced by hospitals and scientific research institutions in their development:
Resources are limited. Any hospital and scientific research institution is faced with the constraints of space, equipment, funding and other resources, which is difficult to meet the needs of all scientific researchers.
Zhang's lab was closed because the center needed to renovate the lab and replan and allocate space. The shortage of resources is a common problem faced by scientific research institutions in hospitals.
Conflict of interest. Hospitals are essentially public welfare institutions that serve public health, but at the same time, they also need to consider operational efficiency; Researchers pursue intellectual discovery, but they also care about personal interests.
This inevitably leads to disagreements in the use of resources and evaluation mechanisms. How to coordinate the interests of all parties and achieve the optimal allocation of resources, it is necessary to strengthen communication and system building.
System estrangement. Hospitals focus on service work, and researchers focus on original work, and there are differences in the way of thinking and work rhythm between the two. If mutual understanding cannot be enhanced, it is easy to create systemic estrangement and lead to the accumulation of contradictions.
The rules are not sound. The rules for the management of scientific research activities in hospitals are not perfect enough, which is easy to cause ambiguity in implementation. This requires constantly summing up experience and improving rules and regulations.
In the face of these common problems, I believe that hospitals and scientific research systems should fully understand each other's work attributes in an attitude of seeking common ground while reserving differences, and gradually resolve conflicts by strengthening coordination and communication. The specific recommendations are as follows:
Strengthen the top-level design, scientifically plan the blueprint for the scientific research and development of the hospital, and clarify the positioning of all parties. Establish a regular communication mechanism to coordinate and solve practical problems in a timely manner. Joint meetings may be set up, etc.
Formulate scientific research management measures, and clarify rules for the use of resources and the evaluation of achievements. Establish a public opinion response plan. Improve the incentive mechanism for scientific research, so that scientific researchers can get reasonable returns. Reasonable allocation of business time and scientific research time.
Strengthen humanistic care, understand the professional feelings of scientific researchers, and provide a good working environment. Strengthen the guidance of public welfare values, and promote all parties to pay attention to social benefits and long-term development.
The scientific research and development of the hospital is under our feet, and we still need the joint efforts of all parties. I believe that through continuous collaboration and improvement, we will be able to resolve such contradictions, so that the scientific research of the hospital can develop healthily and sustainably, and benefit the society.
